Title: Steering wheel advice
Post by: Dale on July 04, 2017, 12:27:15 am

After some advice really, I'm looking into fitting a mk6/7 steering wheel to my Eddie but all the ones I've found on eBay are the wheel only. Do I have to buy the airbag bit separately from a main dealers?

Thanks

Possibly from a dealers or from someone breaking a car. Mostly ones at wreckers have had the airbag deployed.
You might be lucky and find someone on here selling a mint condition used mk6 GTI MFSW including the airbag. I was  :laugh:

I'd only buy the two together  :grin:

Id buy them together. There is an airbag for the mk6 which is slightly smaller and it will require a little harder push to do the horn. Cant remember the part number for that specific airbag now.

You can get airbags on ebay for around £120-£160 but personally I wouldn't be opting for a used airbag incase it wasn't functional, have to ask yourself what's your price on your health.

I obviously wasn't looking hard enough. I take it it will need coding?
